3:00 Sadly for us buskers this is a problem. People come complaining for no reason and try to ruin our music. I don't have nowhere near his vocal skills and when my psychology is ruined i sing even worse. My father was dying of cancer at the hospital and i was out singing cause i had no other way out of financial problems. Evil people didn't give me a break and attacked relentlessly. I'll never forget the day i stopped singing and started crying a river in the middle of the street. Positive people always make music better. Remember to love. This is one of my favorite videos on youtube. Thank you. :)
Brad's voice, seemingly, can do anything...Whether singing in a barritone or falsetto tone, he shines...If I didn't know it was Brad singing this song, I would've, probably, thought it was Lou Rawls...Brad should have his own Las Vegas show.
You have a great voice and your audience smile. You can give the simple musical live daily pleasures that people are waitting for in NYC. Keep singing my lord.
He needs a web site that points out the locations that he usually sings at. I'd gladly stop by to see the show if I'm ever in N.Y. :) Keep feelin' the music, Brad.
yes, that's actually him singing. if you live in that area you can see him singing on the streets all the time. he has an amazing voice and it's a crime he doesn't have a record deal.
somebody from a recording company needs to sign this man to a recording contract, they are missing out on a great talent. he would blow american idol away
this guy is super talented. if any of you who see him at any time during your days or weeks working, if you have a few minutes and a few bucks...take him to get something to eat. help him out. he is a hard hit hard working singer who just needs a break.
like friendobrians i also discovered super bad brad just yesterday and think he is amazing. The way he sings the song Ben is clean. scary how crisp. i didn´t find on the internet something that he is dead and hope he is still on the living. otherwise r.i.p. if you have some more clips upload them if possible adolfo. thx.
He already has been, I saw him perform outside Sheffield City Hall about 5 years ago. at first we thought it was a piss take but then it just carried on inside!
what?? is this guy for real...i just watched another clip of him singing 'ben' by jackson 5. if it's really him, his range is ridiculous. not to mention his ability to change his voice completely.
This guy is so amazing! I'd really stand in line for days to see him perform if he were famous. I really do hope he gets signed and gets all the fame and recognition he truly deserves. Hats off to you Brad!!!!! Does anyone know exactly where he performs? Is it always in New York? Wish he had a pc so he could see how much he really is loved and appreciated. Let me know if anyone knows more about this amazing talent.
lol. the sound was not recorded along with the video. the recording you hear was taken differently ofc - except for the 'Thank you' at the end. this is an edited video clip, thats it.
@recovering16 Haha, you are right. I bet that he doesn't want to be famous too. He is just enjoying every minute while being alive, while most of the people see him as someone who didn't make it in life. But how come ? He is doing something that he enjoys at - singing on the streets and having a big audience :P
He's the king. Why doesn't he audition for American Idol. He would win it without even trying. It's not like the auditions don't come to NYC all the time. In the meantime enter some Karaoke contests.
how can you think thats him singing... in the tags for one of them is "kareoke"... and when he finishes he says "thank you" in a completely different voice. definately not him singing, and its not trying to make you think its him singing
Wait a minute, the quality of the audio is way too good for a street performance. Does anyone know if this is for real? This is not recorded on the street that is for sure.
It is not a playback of Lou Rawls. It is his real voice. This man is a damned artist as we say in France (very talented but miserable). Good luck great Brad !
This is studio sound, not recorded outside. Glasses? This guy is a performance artist playing a role. He’s a good singer, though. The songs he covers are not easy to sing and he does a great job.. The shot of the horse is pretty funny.

He has a special gift and a lot of raw talent. I really enjoy hearing him sing.
Goes to show SOUL is not a color its a Feeling
just discovered super bad brad. he's f#@%ing amazing. thx adolfo
Street genius, he's mastered the virtues of his age. A return to retro, a return to bruised eye optimism. Keep on singing Brad.
Low Rawls is very proud, Brad! Keep doing what your doing! Peace out!
I just Love this guys voice , I never get sick of watching him sing . I'm officially Addicted to super bad Brad :)
Thanks for the introduction to super badass brad! Mama :)
Out of this whole video I did not not see one person give a dollar or any thing to him.
Super Bad Brad is awesome
PERFECT! Cheers from Athens, GREECE
Hey! I'm a busker in Athens Greece. I hope my comment finds you in good health. If you ever see me in the street say hi. :)

God Bless Brad. Mr Delicious Loves Mr. SuperBad Brad.
You have a great voice and your audience smile. You can give the simple musical live daily pleasures that people are waitting for in NYC. Keep singing my lord.
Brad I can not get your voice out of my head I am driving my wife crazy singing to her keep on singing I hope to see you singing in person.
i swear there better be a movie based on this guy..
Thank you so much for posting this... I just saw his "Appolo" clip and just had to see more of him. This man is amazing.
HE should be honored appreciated for whom he is.
this has become my favorite song to rock out to at drunken karaoke. never fails to get the ladies goin
He needs a web site that points out the locations that he usually sings at. I'd gladly stop by to see the show if I'm ever in N.Y. :) Keep feelin' the music, Brad.
this guy rocks! he sounds just like lou rawls for real
yes, that's actually him singing. if you live in that area you can see him singing on the streets all the time. he has an amazing voice and it's a crime he doesn't have a record deal.

I saw Brad a few times back when I lived in Brooklyn. Such a talented guy. Wonder what ever became of him.
I remember seeing this on Manhattan public access TV. He’s amazing!!
this guy is super talented. if any of you who see him at any time during your days or weeks working, if you have a few minutes and a few bucks...take him to get something to eat. help him out. he is a hard hit hard working singer who just needs a break.

I wonder why Brad Prowley hasn't been signed .. unbelievable!
he is great!
simply amazing
aren't there any new yorkers out there who've seen this talent lately? c'mon.
this is a great film.
A true natural, wow.
his "act" is reminiscent of andy kaufmans elvis. the clothing, the hair, the glasses etc. brilliant.
Something really GREAT can be where you least expect it.....
Never gets old.
What a talent
Man.. this guy is GOOD !!!!
Will someone please give this man a venue....and a belt. I really like this guy so lets get him off the streets and on a stage. work with me people.
Great voice, and he did a good job on a good song.
this dude rocks
fucking awesome vocal!!!
It's like he's on a different plane altogether. The Soul Plane!!!
well done! been over 10 yrs since i saw this vid..I originally thought it was Donal Logue...
He is great.
omg.... cool...smart..super Bad Brad Voice....epic... to short.
Very soulful
I love this so much.
OMG, superb...
SBB is great. Loved his rendition of the song.
i love his shirt haha
Sweet lovin' Jesus, this guy is great!
That's why I'm here.
He already has been, I saw him perform outside Sheffield City Hall about 5 years ago. at first we thought it was a piss take but then it just carried on inside!
Fantasic! My version isn't at all as good as this! Cheers, Brad!
I'm back 14 years later to listen to Super Bad Brad!
what?? is this guy for real...i just watched another clip of him singing 'ben' by jackson 5. if it's really him, his range is ridiculous. not to mention his ability to change his voice completely.
301 was funny as hell lol

"Kareoke Man" (youtube video) 6:55 for the song "Ben". I like to see the US educated audience seeing this strange singer.
@13 seconds....It's Frank Zappa! LOL
He's the king. Why doesn't he audition for American Idol. He would win it without even trying. It's not like the auditions don't come to NYC all the time. In the meantime enter some Karaoke contests.
well when i watched it again im thinking now maybe it is him, and kareoke doesnt mean lip sync
Love it :D
Next American Idol
why isn't this guy making piles of cash! sign him up
where did you see that? I am crushed...
cool man
at the 2:56 mark who pissed in the old woman's cheerios, if she didnt like it all she had to is walk away
how can you think thats him singing... in the tags for one of them is "kareoke"... and when he finishes he says "thank you" in a completely different voice. definately not him singing, and its not trying to make you think its him singing

Who is that good looking girl in the back ground looks like see loves his singing.
After watching this since it is posted in 2006, embarrasingly I'd like it even more than Lou's
I hope you are All right brother v!!
Brad is a legion in his own time 🙂
so better than the trash of today.
nice
2:44 when he swings the mic. funny.
Is he singing real?, when the old lady talk to him, The voice was not hear it. weird ah?, anyways great show...
great clip, great singing, great looks. to me he is more of a star than all the madonnas and beyonces put together.
Bruce Willis in disguise?
Margaret Annie Williamson I KNEW IT!! I knew he was a hottie!! Hot is as hot does!
This guy is just putting together a product and he's very good at it. Nevertheless, I buy in.
where does he usually perform? I'd LOVE to catch him...
His real last name is Burns and he's from Binghamton NY.
What a GEEK. He needs to read
"How to Dress Properly for Dummies"
Probably makes Lou Rawls cringe
at his cemetery.
It is not a playback of Lou Rawls. It is his real voice. This man is a damned artist as we say in France (very talented but miserable).
Good luck great Brad !
How can people say that's Bruce Willis?
❤️✨
oui on « miss your love » mr Super bad brad.
Is it true?
Its funny, but at least in this video,if you removed his glasses he actually wouldn't look half bad.
This is studio sound, not recorded outside. Glasses? This guy is a performance artist playing a role. He’s a good singer, though. The songs he covers are not easy to sing and he does a great job.. The shot of the horse is pretty funny.
LoL
maybe he acts homless to get easy money haha
He's too old. They won't let him be on American Idol.
You see Human´s !?!?! A old guy can move his body like a sex Maschin without break his bones :D .
LOL gud job brad, but no one can compare to the original lou rawls---but verry close...
Okay, I am and have been for a long while in love!! Call me!! Please?!
